Andrychów is a town of about 20,000 people in Małopolska province on the Wieprzówka River, lying between Wadowice and Kęty. It was founded at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, while it received city rights in 1767. For several centuries now, Andrychów has been famous for its cotton and textile industry, later also for its engineering industry. There is now a subzone of the special economic zone there, managed by the Cracow Technology Park.
Because of its location at the foot of the Beskid Maly mountains and a short distance from Cracow, Bielsko-Biala, Wadowice or Oswiecim, it is a very attractive tourist destination. The town itself is very atmospheric and also has many interesting attractions to offer. It is worth starting your sightseeing with the centrally located market square with the nearby city park and seeing the classicist Bobrowski Palace. A rich treasure trove of knowledge about Andrychów and its surroundings is the Historical and Ethnographic Museum, whose collections include old objects of daily use of the inhabitants, farm machinery or a rich collection related to Andrychów's Jews.
Andrychów is a good place to go with children - due to the multitude of entertainment activities in nearby Inwald, as well as the numerous possibilities for organizing undemanding family trips to the Beskids. Hiking trails in the vicinity of the town are graceful - not too difficult to walk and at the same time providing beautiful views and interesting attractions along the way.
Andrychow lies along national road 52 and provincial road 781. There are two train stations and a bus station in the town. Our buses stop at the bus station at 23 Krakowska Street, near the Andrychów Train Station. Bus to Andrychów is an ideal travel option not only if you want to visit the city itself, but also when you are planning a trip to the nearby Beskid Maly.
.Strasbourg is an important point on the map of Europe, both today and in the past. This particular town was actually fought over from the beginning. Until the twelfth year of our era, the town was ruled by the Gauls, but then it was forcibly captured by Roman legionaries. They erected a fort there for crossing the Rhine. For the next five centuries the Roman Empire successfully defended itself against barbarian attacks. However, in the year five hundred, they succumbed to the Germanic tribes, who, alongside the Asiatic Huns, captured the fort and renamed it from Argentoratum, a name they did not understand, to Stratœburgus, a town on the beaten road.
From then on, the city was ruled by the Franks. Or at least until the end of the seventeenth century. Then Louis XIV annexed Strasbourg to the Kingdom of France. Of course, this was not the end of the struggle for this particular town.
The rivalry between Strasbourg and the German town of Kehl, which competed for supremacy in the region, may be proof of this. It was only years later that cooperation was established and a bridge was erected between the cities. And it existed as a symbol of cooperation until World War II. And once the rumblings of the cannons ceased, it was erected anew, with European funds and the involvement of both sides. Since then, tens of thousands of cars a day have traveled over the bridge over the Rhine!
One of the best ways to get to Strasbourg, of course, in our opinion, is by bus. Our buses to Strasbourg stop at Place de l "Etoile. It's actually the very center, so leaving the deck of our bus in a quarter of an hour you can find yourself in the old town, admire the Notre Dame Cathedral and taste the local delicacies. And Strasbourg is famous for its amazing cuisine.
